IMPROVEMENT IN GARDEN-HOSE HOLDERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,802, dated April 15, 18 73 5 application filed August 7, 1872.

To altwhom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY 0. SMITH, of Cleveland, county of Ouyahoga, State of Ohio,

have invented an Improved Adjustable Stand ard or Support for Holding Garden Hose Pipe, of which the following is a specification:

This invention has for its object the supplying of a portable and adjustable gardenhose-pipe support, which may be readily set in the ground and adjusted for sprinkling lawns or gardens.

In the drawing, Figure l is a side elevation, and Fig. 2 is an edge elevation, of the abovementioned hose-pipe support.

A isa rod of iron, having its lower end sharpened to enable it to be easily inserted in the ground, and has a foot-piece, B, for assisting in forcing it down. 0 is a second rod attached to the rodA by slides D D, the lower one having a set-screw for securing the rods in place. This is to provide for elevating the hose-pipe, as may be desired. To the upper end of the rod 0 is pivoted a semicircle, E, having a flange, F, and an ear with a lip and set-screw, G, for clamping a hose-pipe, H. The semicircle has a slot, I, with a set-screw, J, through it, entering the rod G, by means of which the hose-pipe may be fixed at any desired angle with the upright rodO.

This is a convenient device for holding a garden-hose pipe, capable of being adjusted at any desired position, and is easily set in the ground and removed from place to place.

Having described my invention, I claims- The rod A, foot-piece B, rod 0, slides D D, semicircle E with slot I and set-screw J, flange F, and lip and set-screw G, all constructed, com bined, and arranged substantially as shown and described, for holding a garden-hose pipe, H, as and for the purpose set forth.
